No. It is Lebanon attacking Israel that resulted in Israel's self defense actions that resulted in the displacement. The displacement is due to Israel's warning to civilians to leave the area of fighting for their protection as it is required to do by international law. Lebanon is firing rockets into Israeli civilian population daily, this is a war crime.

Is Israel firing into Christian neighborhoods? I think I saw something saying they were not. That seems consistent with Israel’s strikes being intended to target Hezbollah specifically (because Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel at the outset of the military operation in Iran).

And they are also using humans as shield? Is it only the enemies of Israel that use human shields or do criminals/terrorists in Israel (if there is such a thing) or any other country do that too?

Interesting, based on your comment Hezbollah did that from Lebanese territories for no reason.

"Lebanese armed group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel in response to the United States-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli forces have also launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon."

Most modern instances of ethnic cleansing are justified as military necessities.

E.g.: Armenian genocide

“Article 1—During war time, army and corp commanders and their deputies and commanders of fortified posts are obliged to destroy any assault or resistance and violently restore order with military forces in the case of opposition, armed attacks or resistance directed against the government orders, the defense of homeland and the preservation of public order.

Article 2—Army, independent corp and division commanders are allowed to transfer and relocate the village and town population in matters related to the military affair or if they feel there is an activity of espionage and treason.”
